Question is what are y'alls opinions on these two grinders? If you could only buy one or the other for the same price which would you choose and why? Thanks for you input and any additional info you give about stump grinders.
 
If you mean 630 or 252?
It depends on what you want,need in a grinder .
I've owned both in the past ,but got tired of not being able to get it in back yards with the 630.
Now I only have the little 252. It is very slow on big stumps,but in the end ,I have made a lot more money with the portable than I ever did with the tow behind. But we have a lot of nicely manicured lawns here ,and HOs prefer no trucks on their yards.
Some here will say ''the 252 is a toy'' and compaired to the bigger machines they're right.But then again,the 630 is way under powered for a TB, IMO.

Remember this .They all require constant maintenence,and they all break down.
Think about it.
What else do you buy with the intention of running it into the ground?
